      Conner Skynet I’m not the type of person to give advice, this is actually my first TH-cam comment ever, but I can say with confidence that you will see her again. The first death I’ve ever experienced was my great grandma. This was when I was around 8 or 9ish. Up until than I was taught in church about heaven, and never questioned it. But the night I heard she died I was sad and confused. I had this empty feeling that I had lost her and would never see her again. I cried all night just thinking about where she was and why she had to die. It wasn’t until a few years later I had a dream. In this dream I saw her. She looked like I remembered her. She reached out her arm and touched me on my arm and smiled. After she did I woke up crying, but this time I was crying tears of joy. Because for some reason at that point in time I understood people never really leave us. I felt her touch me and I saw her face, something I never thought I would do again. Idk if your religious or not, it doesn’t really matter to me, but even if there is no god, there is an afterlife. This life is too simple for people to just die. They will always live in our hearts, and in someway, and some point, we will see them again.
      I’m truly sorry for your loss, I can’t even imagine what losing a mother is like, but stay strong, and i will keep you and your family in my prayers.
      Again I’m very sorry, when you miss her just think that you will one day see her again, and she is in a better place now.
      I have nothing else to say, sorry for writing so much. Just trying to help

    Minimalism is so hard to nail. Most times you just end up with a song that's too "basic". But in the hands of the right composer, minimalism's strongest quality is that in its simplicity it creates a direct line straight to one's core. No fluff, no bells and whistles, just a series of notes that, through their slight variation and careful repetition, form the closest thing I can liken to "code" for the human psyche. It really taps into something, some people say it's sad, others happy, but really, I think, just like the genre itself, it's simpler than that: It's emotion itself.

      Indeed it is dear Taylor, I couldn't agree more. Such a subjective experience, with a lot of emotions involved, minimal but complex in it's message. Sometimes, complex things are a bunch of 'simple' things acting together, and what may see simple in this music is part of a much more complex universe unknow for many of us.

      The violin represents the feeling of tension between feeling happy and feeling dread. The strings try to bring you up but only bring hollowness, never achieving a sense of satisfaction. This is what grief feels like, this is what depression feels like. The struggle to be happy but never reaching it, only the attempt and the emptiness that follows....

But I was listening to this just recently and thought the same thing--of Nietzsche's genius, his seclusion, his chin lifted to the sublime. I just find it incredible how this song provoked a similar thought in you.

      I have watched Arrival and it is one of the best movies I have ever watched. It is no surprise that one connects this soundtrack, Arrival and Nietzsche since in Arrival's climax Louise's act of embracing her bittersweet future reminds of Nietzsche's notion of Amor Fati and Eternal Return. I can never listen to this melody now without thinking of Nietzsche, his unhappy but profound life, his philosophy and my own struggles. I often listen to it when I am melancholy, haunted by memories and anxious about the future. I don't feel happy when I listen to it but sublime and I remind myself that like Louise I must find the courage to say yes to life.

    This entire piece is a loop of time, perfectly in place. Never goes beyond its reach, yet never regresses too far. It stays in place because that's all it has. There is no future, there is no past, there is only just this time in space, this right here right now. No promise of anything else. That's the language of the movie. To communicate that what you project matters not, because you cant reach it, only here and now. The language tells her the End before the beginning, and the Beginning before the End, thus creating this loop in time, where all you have is this...This beautiful piece of time, this loop, this masterpiece.

    I'm just sitting on a rooftop terrace of a very cool hostel in center of Lima, Peru. The bar has closed, tha barman has shaken my hand and called it a day. I can hear cars and noise of the city, but it is just an ambient noise, actually kinda relaxing. I'm finishing my beer, working on my computer, listening to music. When this song started playing, a hostel cat climbed onto my lap, like so many times before, but this time, this time it felt like everything was exactly as it is supposed to be. Thereby I wish to all the people listening to this song to find their inner peace. You all deserve that.
    Edit from July 2023:
    1) Wow. I never expected to get so many likes and so many nice words from all of you guys. This became my place to get my faith in humanity restored after having it shattered in other parts of the internet.
    2) I wish you again all the best in your life, may you always find a way and inner peace.
    3) Couple days ago I got a sad news from the hostel that one of the cats died. So for all the cat lovers around here: wish Gringo all the best in his feline heaven. He has a little shrine with his ashes in the hostel now.

Even a beer is poison to the soul, yet I am aware it can feel like it takes the sting away of what seems like a sea of idiots! Yet they where just living casualties affected by the crimes of political humanity themselfs looking for refuge! I ask myself these days "What about me? And dear friend, how about you?" Would you trust a stranger to know that putting that beer down is a step to better artistry and an effortless life? Because the devils will fall by the way side and what seems like despair will not!

    Many interpret or succumb to sadness when hearing this piece. I understand why. But this piece worked wonderfully as my wife progressed to me down the aisle at our wedding. I had never felt so helpless and empowered all at once. Invincible and vulnerable. Like I was moments from death and had taken my first breath of a new life. Complete polarization. Perhaps I felt beauty from my bride before me, but sadness from the foreshadowment of all our memories to come: that evening and night, dancing in the living room, raising children, growing old, living alone after one of us was stolen away. I like this piece because its geniunity. Its realness.

    October 2023,
    I’m currently on Terceira Island, in the middle of the pacific. It’s 2:13PM and I sit at the beach, I stare at the hill I climbed two days ago with the person I came here to meet for the first time. I hear the sound of the waves, I feel the sand on my feet, I was randomly scrolling looking for a music and this found me again. Once it started to play, a small bird landed nearby, the ocean washed my feet and I can just feel everything. It all makes sense, me being here, the waves, the small bell of a bicycle running by, the wind circling my body, the partially cloudy sky. I feel alive again. I feel like I belong on this world, when I once thought otherwise.
    Thank you for this amazing score.

    This is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. Maybe not everyone thinks so. But to me... this simple little string quartet composition says more than all poems, all paintings, all philosophies, all stories, all words. This music is a description of the way the entire universe works. It's the beauty and majesty of birth and death. The joy of suffering and the pain of happiness. The final reality of all that is. This is the greatest music I've ever heard. My very favorite piece of music of all time.

    This song made me feel life inside me again. It's been a long time. It made me recall both sad and happy memories at the same time. And one single memory that is both incredibly sad and happy at the same time. A strong memory of my mom whom unfortunately is an alcohol abuser. She is sitting down at the kitchen table as i come home from school and i remember dreading whether i would see empty beer cans or liquor on the table and instantly have my heart sink knowing i have to deal with her drunk. When i finally dare to look I see her sitting there completely sober and is giving me the most warm and loving smile you could ever imagine and i remember feeling so unbelievably loved. I begin to remember how kind and caring she was when she was sober. So intelligent as well! And if i could have had that version of my mom all the time i would have been the happiest son in the world. Unfortunately her addiction was too strong and even after 3 rehabs she could not stop, and I could not bare the person she transforms into when she drinks. I haven't spoken to her in soon to be 10 years and even though she barely ever was there for me I miss her. I both hate and love her and this song really encapsulates that emotion for me. I don't know if i ever will speak to her again, but I am glad I still have that memory of her sitting sober and smiling at me with love in her eyes.

      Well, this is not "film music". Is (classical-contemporary-postminimal) music that was used in a film. I do not mean that "film music" is a derogatory term in any way, but is like you said "The Blue Danube" is film music because Kubrick used it in 2001.

    Love all Richter’s works but this one truly speaks to my soul. That we can all reach a place of peace and acceptance in the midst of this uniquely bittersweet human experience. When my daughter had leukaemia I truly thought I couldn’t survive if she died. There was a moment when I didn’t expect her to last until the next morning. That dark night of my soul saw me battling with my demons to keep holding on. I tried to find a way to survive the night, as dawn broke I knew that if I had to live with the pain of loss, then my choice was to exist in the middle of that pain as a way to honour her life, not escape from it through death. This piece speaks to the struggle of that night for me. The triumph of the human spirit over such adversity is why we exist. I’m glad I made that decision because my daughter is now a woman and planning a family of her own.
